In addition to the politicians and generals of the delegation, the characters included bioengineers and brain scientists working on the war hogs, PR consultants who tried to come up with ways to market them to the voting population, and soldiers who were stationed at the base. The war hogs were NPCs.
The location was LSK Business Park, a former training facility for Finnish air forces. The larp had high production values, and lots of effort was put into technological solutions, building laboratories, etc. A former airplane hangar worked as a huge meta room, where all the players had a chance to play a scene where they were war hogs on a mission. The idea was to bring the consequences of the Proteus project on the table and to give the players a chance to reflect the project from another angle. After playing the meta scene, the players were instructed that their characters would now start having moral concerns about the project.
The people behind the original idea for the larp were [[Vera Schneider]] and [[Miska Fredman]]. It was organised in collaboration with the Finnish larp association [[Illusia ry]].
